I'm looking for a software to do live screen-cast of our local user group meeting. What software can I use to do that? Ideally I'd like to capture the computer screen and speaker's audio and stream it live?

Edit: I'm not looking to just record my desktop and upload the video. I'm trying to live stream the desktop as it is happening.

Are you suggesting the OP must try each of those first before asking for a recommendation?

@Tshepang I see the answer as a guidance. Knowing this one can search for erself first, without asking and waiting.

I've used gtk-recordmydesktop and istanbul in the past to record my desktop. But what I'm looking for is a way to stream the video live as it is happening so a group from different city can watch the meetup live and ask questions.

@jinxed_coder: That reminds me of vnc/vino, allthough I allways used it the other way round - I allways was the observer - and I only used it in a 1:1 connection, and don't know whether it is possible to have multiple viewers. Maybe it is possible with X11 alone. And maybe you need much bandwith.

VLC has a built-in desktop stream. I don't recall if it does audio too, howerver.
If you need something quick you can try Big Blue Button's VMware image. It sets up a server that can stream desktop, video, audio, and whiteboard.
